Essi Avellan | Deep lemon-gold. Overt, pronounced, floral potpourri nose, fruit-forward. Too sweet for the acidity. | 15

Marcel Orford-Williams | This is full-flavored, essentially dry, with good acidity and length. Apples again. Bit bruised but serviceable. There is sweetness on the finish and a touch of sweet and sour. Not bad. | 16

Tom Stevenson | First bottle a bit estery; second even more so—but it could be simply how long each bottle had been opened. | 14
